For every item on sale you will find full descriptive information and photographs. Wherever possible we include illustrations showing how the objects were used and worn. We also provide references to background articles where you can learn more about the product and the period in which it was made.

I have collected and dealt in antiques, (particularly hair and costume accessories) for over 40 years and traded online for 12 years.

I am the author of a book and many scholarly articles and papers on this subject and have visited major British and European museums and libraries to view their collections and to research my field.. I also have a doctorate and several other degrees from a major British university as well as professional qualitifations in Librarianship.

We are located in the United Kingdom. However I have lived and worked in the USA where many of my customers are based. We do ship worldwide.
